Here in India, media is a tool of the fascists. I am ashamed to say it but the concept of journalistic standards is alien to the audience here. The media literally parrots the IOF line, to such a degree of precision that makes me think that I underestimated the sheer evil that can exist in the heart of human beings.
But India is a kind of a special case in the Global South, since its an Islamophobic Hindu fascist state and the preposterous IOF talking points slot well with the racist talking points.
But I am wondering what the situation is like everywhere else. Please fill me in.
I hate it. Constant bashing of Iran and Hezbollah because they’re Shia and friends of Algeria and mocking their missile attacks while also claiming that they and Israel are just putting on a fake show. This coming from a country who’s been the mole in the Arab world since the 1960s.
